Yet another news site writes article claiming someone with exceptional genes is still alive because of something completely unrelated - Insists on continuing to be regarded as a reputable news source.
Yeah after a certain age it has nothing to do with lifestyle choices, they're just lucky.
Man if I make it to 90 I am for sure taking up smoking and drinking again.
If I make it to 90, all gloves are off. Give me some heroin, I wanna try chasing the dragon. We better all be smoking a king size joint on my deathbed
My grandfather is 102 was a welder for a coal mine and lioks better than that skeleton.
Coke isn't a joke.
I just had a 100 year old customer and they didn't look a day over 80. He retired two years before I was born.
I don't think there's any secret to it. They simply have exceptional genes.
